Sun is not totally gone, but was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2010.
Would it not make more sense to buy an Oracle SPARC server if you miss sun, nice specs, but a bit larger than a tablet?

Here's another new item at the Jolla website, a FAQ for pre-orders (both from the Jolla store and from the 3rd round of the Jolla Tablet Indiegogo site -- I didn't even notice that they'd opened the Indiegogo page back up):

https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/a...a-Jolla-Tablet

In the technical specs section, they mention that the headphone jack follows the AHJ standard (same as the Jolla phone).

One interesting item is that you can order up to 10 tablets, and shipping will remain 20 euro for the whole order.

An item that isn't new, but nice to get more confirmation: they do plan to have all the tablets ordered from the earlier Indiegogo rounds shipped before the end of October:

When are you going to ship pre-ordered Tablets?

We aim to ship pre-ordered Tablets by the end of October 2015. Please note that the delivery date is subject to change. We will keep you updated on the schedule in our update emails and in the Jolla Blog.

We aim to start shipping pre-order Tablets only after completing shipments to contributors from our earlier Indiegogo campaign rounds.

Have I missed a recent announcement, or has it slipped another month in the last couple of weeks? Weren't they meant to be shipping early / mid September?

Ah, sorry, I phrased that poorly. The current estimate of when shipping will begin is "early September"; and, with this statement, the estimate of when shipping will end (for the roughly 10000 early contributors) is the end of October. Thus, it would seem that they plan to finish shipping all 10000 tablets within about a month and a half after they start...

A subtle but interesting change on the tablet website; the asterisk at the bottom of the technical specs section now says that the software update will take a while:

* Support for this feature coming in SW update during 2015
EDIT: (previous comments removed, I got confused..) Ack! I read that as "2016", not "2015". My bad, too sleepy. So, I guess, the update will be _sooner_ than I thought... Man, I've gotta get more sleep.

When will this tablet hit the store? Haven't seen any progress at all lately. Thank you.

Actually, they've just started accepting pre-orders at the store:

https://shop.jolla.com/preorder_shop_en

The existing orders will be processed first though; new orders aren't expected to be shipped until November...

If only Chuck Norris was in charge of shipping. He'd round house kick each one through your letterbox all the way from Finland.

Now that would be Unlike!

Ah, thanks. Tbh I was expecting it. After 6 weeks and 4 versions of 1.1.7 we still don't have a stable release, and none of the 4 versions are anything like stable for me. I'd probably have to go back to May or early June of last year for the last time I had this many system reboots and full crashes. I get multiple ones every day. The keyboard freezing / transition freezes are also back with a vengeance for me. It makes you wonder what kind of state 2.0 will be in ...
